Tube workers sacked over alcohol find

Five Tube workers have been sacked following the discovery of more than 100 cans of alcohol in a mess room.

Tube company Metronet said the dismissals of the track maintenance staff related to its "zero tolerance policy on alcohol".

A total of 15 staff were suspended in October after an assortment of 11 full and empty cans of beer and cider, plus an empty bottle of brandy, were discovered at the mess room near Farringdon station in the City of London where the men were based.
